**********

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud……

13) In 1941, Franklin Roosevelt and Congress established Thanksgiving as a United States federal holiday to be celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November, which makes November 28th the latest it can be, which is when it is this year.

12) For me, college basketball season starts when I watch the Maui Classic, which is always Monday-Wednesday of Thanksgiving week. With college ball starting November 5th this year, it has been a lackluster 16 nights of basketball so far, filled with buy games and not a lot of great matchups.

That changes starting today, with holiday tournaments beginning, and that is a good thing.

11) NFL underdogs are 89-68-6 ATS so far this season.

10) Not sure how they came up with this decision, but Memphis Tigers’ freshman center James Wiseman is suspended for another 11 games; he will be eligible to play on January 12 against South Florida. Memphis is very young but very, very talented.

9) Double digit underdogs are 22-8 ATS so far in the NBA this season, after splitting four games Wednesday.

8) Princeton Tigers’ basketball team has players from nine states and three countries.

7) 76ers 109, Knicks 104— Ben Simmons made his first career 3-pointer in his 172nd NBA game; he had been 0-17 on the arc in his career.

6) Mavericks 142, Warriors 94— ESPN/TNT should flex Golden State off its national games; when they don’t play well, they’re horrible. This game was 44-16 after the first quarter.

5) Yale 100, Siena 89 3 OTs— Yale has played four D-I games; three of them went to overtime.

4) An average of 6.2 goals/game are being scored in the NHL this season, the league’s 2nd-highest average in the last 23 years, behind the 2005-06 season.

3) NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs fired coach Mike Babcock after a 9-10-4 start- they lost their last six games. Babcock won the Stanley Cup coaching the 2007-08 Red Wings; he’s won three conference titles, and has a career record of 67-56 in playoff games.

2) Atlanta Braves signed reliever Chris Martin to a 2-year, $14M deal.

1) Gerardo Parra signed to play baseball in Japan next year, marking the end of the Baby Shark era for the Washington Nationals. Parra has hit .276 in his 11-year major league career.
